SSA provides supportive housing to 53 individuals living with schizophrenia who would otherwise be at risk for homelessness.

We are doing our part to help those living with schizophrenia in Alberta by providing three residences located in Edmonton and Red Deer.

Our three housing programs provide varying levels of support which allows tenants to have a safe and comfortable home where they are able to focus on what's most important: working towards recovery.

It costs $486 a day to keep a person in a psychiatric hospital, compared to just $72 per day to house a person in the community with supports.
